... simply refused. He would have said, "No!" If you take money to Vinoba Bhave he closes his eyes, and deep down you say, "Now, this is a saint!" But if you bring the money to me I will take the money and I will not even thank you! Then you will be very much shocked: "What kind of man is this?" I was moving in the Impala and people started writing to me: "You should not...
... going to last long. When joy is without any reason, it is going to be there forever. There are two ways a man can be. A man can either move towards having more things - then he goes against Buddha, against Tao, against Zen. The man who is too much concerned with having more is the worldly man. And the man who says whatsoever is, is good; who relaxes; who is not worried about having more money, more...
.... Mind is the technique to go out. That's why you are trained in your universities and colleges and schools for mind. Mind is the technique to go out, to have many more things - to have bigger houses, to have much property, to have political power, to have money. Mind is the way to go out and conquer the world. Meditation is just the reverse process. It is nothing but no-mind. That is what Zen is. You...
... desire. A car passes by, and let there be a desire in you that "I would like to have this car." And then you will see many thoughts coming: "How to possess it? How to arrange for the money? What to do? - to do business? or to steal, or what? Or go the American way: just take it on installments?" One then needs thoughts, because without thinking you will never have this car. Watch...
...,' So now we will desire desirelessness. How to attain desirelessness.?" Now they are ready to go on another journey of desire. Just the OBJECT of desire has changed. first they were thinking how to have more money, how to have more power, how to go to New Delhi, Washington, London, Moscow; now, their goal has changed - how to attain NIRVANA, MOKSHA, God, desirelessness. But the object is there...
... things in a wrong order. Sex disappears because Buddha has come to his inner source, not the other way round. Not that he has dropped sex and that's why he has become a Buddha. He has become a Buddha, hence sex has disappeared. But from the outside people watched Buddha and they saw sex had disappeared - so drop sex if you want to become a Buddha. Buddha is not interested in money, so they thought...
..., "Become disinterested in money if you want to become a Buddha." But these are all wrong approaches! This is not looking for the cause, but misunderstanding the effect as the cause. The cause is inside Buddhahood. He has become awakened to his inner being. When one becomes awakened to one's inner being. one is so blissful that who bothers about sex? Who begs for small moments of pleasure from...
... of America was starting to feel jealous. The very existence of the commune was dangerous to the American politicians because it showed that they don't have any intelligence; otherwise they could have done what we had done very easily -- they had all the power, all the money. This small commune of five thousand people had everything that man needs, and all the freedom, all the love. And everybody...
... satisfy. Satisfaction is not a great quality. It belongs to the little minds, to the little hearts which are satisfied with small things. There are people who are satisfied with a little money, there are people who are satisfied with a house, there are people who are satisfied with a little name, a little fame -- these are pygmies. Giants are never satisfied. On every new step they find the journey is...
... thousandfold more; unless it is a business proposal.... And it is a really good business! You give ten rupees here, and you get a thousandfold more there! Where can you get that much interest? It is almost like winning a lottery! Then it is worth risking ten rupees. I had to stop Indians completely. I have told my office people, "Don't accept from Indians, because we don't want money with any conditions...
... barn the salesman set up his machine and began the demonstration, carrying on meanwhile his persuasive flow of talk. The old man began to take a keen interest in the proceedings as he beheld the wondrous efficiency of the milker. "Well, mister," the farmer conceded at last, "I admit it's wonderful. I'd like mighty well to have it, but I've got no money and no way of borrowing any."...
... in the sense of fullness of being; but empty because the consciousness is lacking, empty because the awareness is missing. You are not a presence, you are an absence - hollow within, stuffed with straw. That straw may be gold, it may be money; that straw may be power. A thousand and one are the names of that straw, but it is straw because it does not nourish the soul. It does not create the soul...
... emptiness. The other name for that emptiness is deep inner fulfillment. You are not filled with straw, but you are filled with your own awareness. You are not filled with furniture: cars, houses, money, and other nonsense. You are just filled with your being, the sheer am-ness, the sheer existence. Then there is no death for you. This is the last night of Jesus with his disciples, and it is very...
... can be put to better use. Thousands of legal advocates are just wasting their time and people's money; they are not needed. We don't see things; we simply remove the symptoms, and they come back again. Look at the very causes. In America there is so much crime. Why? There must be temptations for crime. Those temptations can be dropped very easily. Just look at my watch. Are you tempted or not? You...
... have bank accounts in the name of different corporations, and they would like to draw the money from them. Or they will exploit sannyasins, still pretending that Sheela is my secretary. And it is strange that people can lie so easily. In one of her interviews she says she was my lover. I don't love prostitutes. I had made her the secretary, not because she was my lover, but because I saw that she can...
..., concentrated - after money, after power, after this, after that. Become a painter, become a poet, become a musician, become someone and go on becoming. Don't stop, because if you stop you become aware of your hurt; the wound starts opening up. So don't give it a chance. This is the road. For five hundred years they managed simply to have the tree. It was a beautiful symbol of stepping aside. But as time...
.... Agony is the experience that you have come into the world a clean slate, a tabula rasa; nothing is written on it. This is your original face. Now, you can do two things. One is, being afraid of this vacuum, you can start running after something or other - earning money, power, learning, asceticism, becoming a sage, scholar, politician - somehow to give you a feeling of identity, somehow to hide your...
... drink Coca Cola. That is the only international brotherhood, The Coca Cola Brotherhood. There are thousands of things which are not necessary, but they are being produced because people are greedy to earn more money, people are greedy and their greed knows no limit. Just the other day I have told you about the movement in America, The Couch Potato Movement. Thousands of people have joined it. It is...
... Lucia. "A hundred then," says Gondolfo. "Well," says Lucia, "it would not be right." "Come on, two hundred dollars," says Gondolfo, "just for half an hour and Enrico will-a never know." Lucia takes the money and Gondolfo has the time of his life. When Enrico gets home late, he asks his wife, "Did my friend Gondolfo tell-a you I work-a late?"...
..., but the mind is very clever. It immediately comes from the back door with a new goal. It says, "It is very good. Money is not the goal of life. And power is not the goal. Neither is respectability nor anything of this world. The real goal is God." God is a mind invention, just as money is a mind invention. Heaven is as much a mind invention as is respectability, name, fame - they are all...
